Think I have got rid of the "German" virus, but found another problem :O(

2005CLAIRE

I followed the advice as best I could that was given to rid my computer of the virus that was causing the emails n German.

Now when I try to login to my ebay account or msn account it is refusing to let me in.

Anyone know what I have done to cause this.


Thanks for any replies.

Need more info than that.

What virus was it? Have you checked for spyware/trojans?

Do a virus scan with http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ if you dont have any anti-virus.

Hi,

I'm copying your words onto this thread so that the "What security..." thread stays on track. You said:

"I think I sorted out the problem I had earlier (apparantley a lot of people had been sent an email in German - there was a virus in it).

My Norton was playing up so I installed
Spybot s+d
Spyware blaster
Zone alarm
AVG


I got rid of Norton


Hope I did the right thing.

But,

When Zone Alarm shows it tells me that I have no anti virus protection. Does that mean the AVG hasn't worked or that Zone Alarm doesn't recognise it?


I have no clue about computers at all so any help would be gratefully received."

What does AVG say when you click on it? Have a look at the settings and make sure it is enabled. You should have the AVG icon at the bottom right of your screen.

Thanks, Fran,

I'm getting confused with where I should be typing.
Good job someone is on the ball :O)
